About Us
Welcome to Numis Heritage Gallery, an enterprise by the esteemed Team Travancore Cochin
Heritage Gallery. Led by Mr. Shameer P.S. Shihab, a fervent enthusiast in the realm of
numismatics and philatelic collections, we are committed to providing an all-encompassing

assortment of coins, medals, and banknotes, and to aid you in achieving optimal returns on
your numismatic investments through our auction consignment services. We strive to be your

Numis Heritage Gallery is a visionary initiative of Travancore Cochin Heritage Gallery,
gracefully located in Palarivattom, near the renowned Ootupura restaurant, Ernakulam,
Kerala.
The Journey
Mr. Shameer P.S. Shihab embarked on his journey as a philatelist in his childhood and has
garnered prestigious recognition in this field, including a certificate of distinction during his
formative years. This passion propelled him to delve into the realm of numismatics and
explore various other collectibles, commencing in 2004. While exploring the world of
numismatics, Mr. Shameer P.S. Shihab noticed a concerning trend of collectors unknowingly
purchasing fake or overpriced coins from unscrupulous dealers.
Motivated by his own experiences and a desire to help fellow collectors, he decided to take
action. Mr. Shihab dedicated his time and resources to educating himself further in the
intricacies of coin authentication, market values, and reliable sources. He used his knowledge
to assist local dealers and collectors, providing them with guidance to avoid potential scams
and make informed decisions.
In an era when many Indian collectors turned to reputable international online platforms to
acquire collectibles, we recognized the need for increased vigilance. It became evident that
certain items listed on such websites were questionable, with issues such as counterfeits,
manipulations, alterations, or inaccurate labelling. We also encountered similar experiences
with a few other portals, where excessively high prices were demanded for such items. While
these platforms boasted talented IT and marketing teams, they lacked the specialized
expertise in numismatics and philately required to certify and authenticate the showcased
items.
Therefore, it brings us great pleasure to announce the launch of our website and applications,
Numis Heritage. This platform will serve as a dedicated space for e-auctions and virtual
engagements, specifically tailored to cater to the needs of our esteemed collectors.
Our Objective and Goal
We aspire to foster a world where generations of novices can transcend into esteemed
collectors of coins, stamps, and an array of collectibles. We treat our customers as regal
individuals, while we ourselves embody the three treasures, offering only authentic and
superior-quality products through our online and offline establishments. Additionally, we
guarantee exceptional after-sales service to all our esteemed clientele.
Our Motive
At Numis Heritage Gallery, we staunchly believe that profound and impartial information
should be accessible to all parties involved in the world of collectibles. We are driven by the
desire to augment transparency, diminish trading impediments, and make the learning curve
less daunting and costly for new collectors and sellers alike. Our motive is rooted in creating
a fair and inclusive marketplace where everyone can participate with confidence and
knowledge.
Our Mission
Our mission at Numis Heritage Gallery is to go beyond being a marketplace. We aspire to be
the global hub, a trusted authority, and a comprehensive resource for collectors and
enthusiasts of fine art, exquisite jewels, rare collectibles, Numismatic & Notaphily, Postal
Stationary & Philately, Exonumia & Vintage, Art & Artifacts, Antiques & Curious, and other
esteemed objects of value. We are dedicated to curating an extensive collection, providing
accurate information, and fostering a community that shares a passion for the preservation
and appreciation of precious artifacts.
